Carolina Park car dealership development

A car dealership development currently underway in Carolina Park, Mount Pleasant. GDI is flying and processing this site end to end, from flight planning through orthomosaic, surface model, and a full Site Intelligence Report, as a working demonstration of a recurring documentation program.

Orthomosaic of the Carolina Park dealership site on 07/03/2026, showing the building slab, graded pad, and staging areas, with north arrow and 50 m scale bar — Orthomosaic, 07/03/2026

Surface change heatmap of the graded building pad, 03/14/2026 to 05/03/2026. Warm tones show surface rise (fill), cool tones show lowering (cut), on a scale of minus 2 to plus 2 feet — Surface change, 03/14 to 05/03/2026

Time-lapse

Watch the site take shape.

Every flight follows the same plan, so the captures line up into one continuous time-lapse of the site.

What this shows a GC

One flight, three answers.

Where are we?

The orthomosaic shows current site conditions at a measurable scale.

How much moved?

The surface model is the baseline for cut/fill and stockpile volumes on the next flight.

Who needs to know?

The report packages it for OAC meetings and owner updates without anyone opening GIS software.
